Tonight I have a little baby-free and hubby-free time. We try to have Mateo asleep by 6:30 on Saturday nights (compared to 7 the rest of the week)lately so that we can get him up a little earlier and a am nap in before church. Last week it worked out...so hopefully we almost have the church schedule down. Still working on the nursery.
Anyways- whenever Aaron is gone and I am in charge of Mateo at night...I become extremely appreciative of my husband and that I'm not a single mom. I don't know how single moms do it. I did dinner, play time, bath time, PJs, nursing, song, bed. But then at 6:33 my sweet baby was asleep peacefully in his crib. Ahhhh....
So what will I do with my time? Blog between running back and forth to the kitchen, yes. Make Butternut Squash/Yellow Potato/Apple stew to freeze for Mateo...yes. Make soup for tomorrow's church lunch potluck...yes. Finish making my mixed bean soup...yes. And if I have any energy left after that, I will also remember how to thread my sewing machine. Mateo is short like his mama and all of his pants are too long for him. I have started hemming my own pants under by hand...accepting that I'm vertically challenged- but his pants would be so much easier to hem on the machine b/c they're not denim.
OH, and a few days ago Mateo started saying da da da da all day long...more indiscriminately, but it was still super cute (even though he has not said ma ma ma ma yet haha ;)
I didn't get to talk with HR this week b/c the lady was out sick. Next Tuesday will be the big day. My contract is due April 9th. I'm not worried about it miraculously. I've been praying about it and am confident and excited about what God will do.
1 Lord, I give myself to you; 2 my God, I trust you.
Psalm 25:1-2a
OK- stew is cooking on the stove, so I better finish this up. I've been wanting to blog about what I'm reading in Luke right now...but another time.
Things I love:
~A good cardio workout that gets my heart pumping

Tea
OK- so I am finally switching from Xanga (http://gabalonias.xanga.com/) to e-Blogger. Seems like it is easier for everyone else.
This morning was one of those mornings when you heat up your tea like three times but you never actually get to drink it. I just kept getting distracted.
I think daylight savings time is affecting us more than I thought! Mateo slept in today (which I'm not complaining about ;) but them our day schedule is tweaked. Good thing our schedule can be flexible.
Making baby food for Mateo has kind of made me realize that I need to eat healthier, too. Now I do have a generally balanced diet...but Mateo's diet rocks. Today, he will eat all of these different foods:
Brown rice, peach, banana, quinoa, yellow squash, carrot, sweet potato, and avocado.
Now that he's eating 3 meals a day and I mix and match, he's getting quite a variety. I should take such care in my own diet!! However, I'm often eating what is fast since Mateo requires much attention and I take it as my personal challenge to keep the house up while Aaron is at work.
I am tired. I am having some insomnia. Mateo slept pretty well last night...but when he got up around 4 to eat...he fell back asleep in like 3 minutes. I, however, fell back asleep in like 2 1/2 hours!! Grr.
It's almost time to make some big decisions about next year! I talked to my principal last week and he knows that I will not be going back full time. Now I gotta meet with the leave-of-absence lady to discuss possible part time options. I think that I will end up subbing b/c it is more flexible. One or two days a week would be plenty. We have maintained a pretty good budget and God keeps providing for us with tax return money, reimbursed furlough days from Aaron, extra pay b/c of claiming a child, etc. etc.
Grocery shopping.... check.
Laundry.... almost!
Gotta jet.
